Aims

The purpose of the workshop is to present and discuss new ideas, techniques and results related to alternative approaches in speech processing that may depart from the main stream.New and innovative approaches are welcome to participate in this workshop.

Focus

Contributions are expected in (though not restricted to) the following domains:

Non-Linear Approximation and Estimation
Non-Linear Oscillators and Predictors
Higher-Order Statistics
Independent Component Analysis
Nearest Neighbours
Neural Networks
Decision Trees
Non-Parametric Models
Dynamics of Non-Linear Systems
Fractal Methods
Chaos Modeling
Non-Linear Differential Equations
All fields of speech processing are targeted by the workshop, namely:

Speech Production
Speech Analysis and Modeling
Speech Coding
Speech Synthesis
Speech Recognition
Speaker Identification / Verification
Speech Enhancement / Separation
Speech Perception
Others
